    Its hard to tell from your post, but I hope that you're proud as hell of yourself, because that is an awesome accomplishment, even with more to go! :flowerforyou:

    My initial goal is 100 lbs gone. I'll reassess when I get there if I'm going to try to lose more. My initial goal weight is 140, which I've weighed before (oh, about 14 years ago...), and felt good at that weight. But might try to get down to 130. Eh, I have a ways to go to decide!

    I know the feeling of when you feel you've accomplished and are nearing the end.

    (Of course my loss is zilch compared to your 100+ pounds.)

    PS can you tell me how you did it?

    1. Being faithful to my calorie goals
    2. Exercising like mad

    Hard work and determination. I have PCOS which generally makes losing weight more difficult - but I have pushed through that!

    I went from 315-270 in probably 4m.
    I gained back 15 lbs
    Took me from March 2011 - Jan 2012 to get from 285-210.
    I got pregnant - didn't gain much.
    Haven't seen a loss since before my daughter was conceived (I was immediately back to about 205-210 when she was born).
    I gained back 5-10lbs in the last 12 months (since she was born)
    Recently started losing again - YAY :)

    So long story short - in 2009 I was 315lbs
    Took me until Jan 2012 to get to 210 - so 3 years

    I'm the opposite, 60 pounds down and 100 to go. I'll be pretty pleased when I have less than 100 pounds to lose!

    I've lost around 120 or so pounds & still have around 30-40 some pounds to lose. I at least want to get around 150 and the lowest I want to go is 140.

    I am OP! I am at around 100 lbs lost and have about the same amount left to go that you do in order to get to my goal weight. But I've not told anybody in my real life about the 100 lbs milestone except my wife.

    I was deceptively fat. Most people in my life would, at any given time, be shocked at my real weight; I carried it very well. I'm at that point now when I am nowhere near "skinny", but people close to me are starting to call me that. When I get to my low goal weight, which is a good 25 lbs lower than my once low weight in my early 20s, I think people are going to be very shocked at just how much weight I lost during the entire journey. Then, and only then, will I tell everyone just how much I lost.

    Holy cow, that's me exactly: I started at 300, July '12, have lost 120, (90 since starting on MFP a year ago) and I have 30 left to go! I was 140 when I was a teenager, but frankly I was a bit scrawny at that weight ( I'm 5'11").

    I'm close -- about 97 lbs. down with about 18 to go to reach goal -- 115. At 5'2", the lowest I want to go is 112 but I will be happy to maintain between 112-120 once I reach goal in my mid-range of "healthy."

    Yep! I started Jan 2012 & am not done yet! It has been an incredible journey! And yes...the old school way of watching what I eat & exercising!

    Down 110 since July 2012., definitely going for at least 30 more, then I'll reasses.

    I have 70 more pounds to go. Still fat just not as fat. I look at progress pictures and still don't like what I see.

    This is about where I'm at as well, I've lost a bit more than 100, but I think I have 50 to 60 to go.

    YES. I've lost 125, i still have about 10-15 to go. I'm at 152 right now. I'd like to be about 140 give or take a couple. Its frustrating to have lost so much and still not be at goal but at the same time it's like i can breathe a fresh breath of air now that I can FINALLY see the finish line. I've lost 125, surely I can do another 10?!!

    Yup I'm in the same boat! I'd like to lose 30ish more pounds but I'm taking it slow so my loose skin has a chance to catch up with me :wink:

    Your progress is great I wish I could say I've lost over 100 pounds.

    Its nice to see other faces out there who have come this far but with farther to go still!
    Im proud of people who lose the even 20 lbs to get in shape - but losing over 100 with much more to go can be tiring at times
    I cannot wait to get at/close to goal : )
    Finally broke my plateau - only about 50lbs to go now : )

    Hard work and determination. I have PCOS which generally makes losing weight more difficult - but I have pushed through that!

    When I get to the 100 pound lost mark I will be in the same boat as you are now. So far I'm down 35 pounds with at least 120 pounds to go. But I only started in July so I think I've made great progress so far :)

    I also have PCOS / Insulin Resistance and started at 304 pounds.

    I just try not to think about how far I have to go and how long it's probably going to take. One day at a time, stick to my calorie goals and have fun coming up with lower calorie ways to enjoy food that I love and discovering new things to cook and enjoy.
